Calibrachoa plant named ‘CBRZ0029’

ABSTRACT

A new  Calibrachoa  plant named ‘CBRZ0029’ particularly distinguished cultivar has mid-sized raspberry colored flowers with a darker “eye” and yellow inside the flower at the base of the petals, green foliage, good branching, semi-trailing plant habit, and has little sensitivity to soil pH.

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Calibrachoahybrida.

Varietal denomination: ‘CBRZ0029’.

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT

The present invention comprises a new Calibrachoa, botanically known asCalibrachoa hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name‘CBRZ0029’.

‘CBRZ0029’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivarhas mid-sized raspberry colored flowers with a darker “eye” and yellowinside the flower at the base of the petals, green foliage, goodbranching, semi-trailing plant habit, and has little sensitivity to soilpH.

‘CBRZ0029’ originated from a hybridization made in October 2014 in agreenhouse in Gilroy, Calif., USA. The female parent was an unpatentedproprietary breeding line known as ‘4135-1’, which had flowers that werelight raspberry with a darker center and the plant had compact growth.It originated from a seedling selected in Gilroy, Calif. The male parentof ‘CBRZ0029’ was an unpatented proprietary plant with raspberry with adarker center flowered plant, known as ‘4132-3’, originating from aseedling selected in Gilroy, Calif. The male parent differs from‘CBRZ0029’ in that it is more upright, has fewer flowers, and is laterto flower.

The resulting seeds were sown in February 2015 and ‘CBRZ0029’ wasselected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated crossin May 2015 in a controlled environment in Gilroy, Calif.

The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘CBRZ0029’ was accomplishedwhen vegetative stem cuttings were propagated from the initial selectionin the summer of 2015 in a controlled environment in Gilroy, Calif.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plantinitiated in the spring of 2016, and continuing thereafter, hasdemonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosedfor ‘CBRZ0029’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successivegenerations of asexual reproduction.

‘CBRZ0029’ has not been observed under all possible environmentalconditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations inenvironment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length.

A Plant Breeder's Right for this cultivar has not yet been applied for.‘CBRZ0029’ has not been made publicly available prior to the effectivefiling date of this application, notwithstanding any disclosure that mayhave been made less than one year prior to the effective filing date ofthis application by the inventor or another who obtained ‘CBRZ0029’directly from the inventor.

The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined tobe basic characteristics of the new variety. The combination of thesecharacteristics distinguishes this Calibrachoa as a new and distinctvariety.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS

The accompanying photographic drawings show typical flower and foliagecharacteristics of ‘CBRZ0029’ with colors being as true as possible withan illustration of this type. The photographic drawings show in FIG. 1.a close-up of the flowers and in FIG. 2. a flowering plant of the newvariety.

DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

The aforementioned photographs were taken in the greenhouse in Gilroy,Calif. in February 2019.

The measurements and observations were made in February 2019 in Gilroy,Calif. on plants grown in 4 inch pots in the greenhouse.
